TransMagic is a commercial computer program that converts computer-aided design (CAD) files from one native file format to another. During the translation process, TransMagic performs “geometry mapping”, mapping from one CAD kernel to another.
This file format considers the product definition as a file of entities, with each entity being represented in an application-independent format. [3] After the initial release of STEP (ISO 10303) in 1994, interest in further development of IGES declined, and Version 5.3 (1996) was the last published standard.
ISO 10303 is an ISO standard for the computer-interpretable representation and exchange of product manufacturing information.It is an ASCII-based format. [1]: 59 Its official title is: Automation systems and integration — Product data representation and exchange.
STEP-file is a widely used [1] data exchange form of STEP. ISO 10303 can represent 3D objects in computer-aided design (CAD) and related information. Due to its ASCII structure, a STEP-file is easy to read, with typically one instance per line. The format of a STEP-file is defined in ISO 10303-21 Clear Text Encoding of the Exchange Structure. [2]
The table below provides an overview of notable computer-aided design (CAD) software. It does not judge power, ease of use, or other user-experience aspects. The table does not include software that is still in development (beta software).
Added support of OCAF binary files larger than 2 GiB. Added "Glue" [5] option to Boolean algorithms. Added support of annotations, saved views and clipping planes to STEP and XDE. Added Weighted OIT (Order-independent transparency) rendering feature. Path Tracing engine improvements. Open CASCADE Technology 7.1 2016-11-25 — —
The early version of ABViewer allowed viewing and merging CAD files, storing BMP and EMF images in the clipboard, and printing a group of files. Initially, the program supported 20 languages and was available in two versions: Standard and Professional. [5] In 2007, new features were added to the viewer: an editor and a converter.
STL is a file format native to the stereolithography CAD software created by 3D Systems. [3] [4] [5] Chuck Hull, the inventor of stereolithography and 3D Systems’ founder, reports that the file extension is an abbreviation for stereolithography, [6] although it is also referred to as standard triangle language or standard tessellation language.
